Benjamin - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Skokie, Illinois

Foster to Adopt pending neuter

Have you ever met a dog whose heart is bigger than his fears?

Benjamin is that dog. He came to C.A.R.E. as an owner surrender from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and the change has left him a little shaken. He lost everything familiar in an instant, including the people he loved most, and that kind of loss takes time to process. Benjamin is scared right now, and he does not hide it. He needs patience, gentleness, and a little bit of time to understand that he is safe again.

Underneath that fear is an amazing love bug waiting to come out. Benjamin does not warm up in an instant, but give him a minute, sit with him, let him come to you, and he will begin to trust again. Once he does, he offers his whole heart in return.

Benjamin has a special place in his heart for his own kind. If you are a lover of Chihuahuas or Miniature Pinschers, Benjamin will fit right into your world and your heart.

He does not need someone perfect. He needs someone patient enough to help him heal and kind enough to show him that not every goodbye has to hurt. Benjamin is ready for his person. Is that person you?
